Principlev1
Consolidate all agent status information onto a single
Consolidate all agent status information onto a single surface visible without navigation, because distributed monitoring increases the cognitive cost of checking below the threshold where checking actually occurs.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounded in working memory limits (Working Memory Capacity Limit) and behavior following paths of least resistance (Behavior follows the path of least resistance due to the). The principle prescribes single-surface consolidation to reduce monitoring friction below the threshold of abandonment.
